Honoring God’s word

In addition, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. (2 Thessalonians 3:1)

I think that whatever country you live in, this is something we all pray as Christians. That God’s word, and especially the word of his gospel would spread and be honored.

But I think it’s worthwhile to ask: “Are we, his people, honoring his word?”

If we are going to pray that his word would be honored in our nations, that needs to start with us.

Do we love his word? Do we read it? Do we think on it during the day?

And most importantly, do we obey it?

I read something interesting yesterday.

Where you find a church, you find a community committed to the Bible. If not, you have not found a church. — Al Mohler

I pray that all our churches would be a people committed to the Bible. If we truly want to see revival in our nations, it starts with us honoring God and his Word, and saying each day, “Lord, speak to me. What do you want to say to me today?”

Lord, you are faithful even when we are not. Thank you for that.

Help us to be people that honor your word. And may your word, and especially your gospel be honored in this nation.

Each day, direct our hearts to your love for us. And when things get hard though we are following you, direct our hearts to Jesus’ endurance that he showed on the cross.

Thank you for your love. We rest in that love. And we rest in your goodness toward us. Now, speak to us. We want to hear your voice. In Jesus’ name, amen.
